Dee Snider and Paul Stanley have been beefing ever since the Twisted Singercriticized the replacement members in Kiss’ current lineup. The two sides continue to exchange barbs with little talk of compromise.

Most recently, Snider guested on the Real Radio Show and downplayed Stanley’s latest insults. “It’s crazy how international this feud between me and Paul Stanley has become,” he said. “Not bad for a wannabe or a buffoon.”

Snider was referencing comments the Kiss guitarist made in an interview on Chris Jericho’s Talk Is Jericho podcast. Stanley said, “This guy is a wannabe, has always been a wannabe, and desperately wants attention and to be taken seriously. That will never happen because he’s obviously clueless that he and his whole band are a bunch of buffoons.”

The whole fight started when Snider criticized Kiss’ current lineup, which features guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer in place of Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, respectively.

After describing his longtime Kiss fandom, Snider gave his take on the 21st century version of Kiss in the Real Radio Show interview.

“I don’t think I’m out of line to say that I have an opinion and that I feel that the Ace Frehley impersonator playing guitar now is an insult to fans,” Snider said. “People disagree — that’s fine. People agree — that’s fine. But Paul reacted to me making a statement [saying] anything negative about Kiss.

“Paul, I love your band, I love your music. Why do you have to be such a dick? Alice Cooper is not a dick. Alice Cooper has inspired a million people and he’s the coolest guy in the world. Yet Gene [Simmons] and Paul, they’ve got this arrogance about them.”

Previously, Snider penned an open letter to Stanley, where he challenged him to a battle of the bands, saying they should do it “old school,” meaning “no costumes, no pyro, no bullshit — let’s just get up there and rock.” He added, “I will bury you, son.”
